XS360/XS400 Fork stock width

[Norman1950]

I have been searching all over and unable to come up with a stock fork width for the bike. Can anyone help me and measure center of fork tube to center of fork tube. It won't matter if it is the tube or lower part. I am away from the shop for a few days and the curiosity in my head is killing me. Trying to figure out the gsxr forks

Thanks for the help and your time.

The stock width of the tube is 33mm.

I am sorry didn't make myself clear enough... I am wanting the width between to the 2 forks center to center of each.

Thanks.

Sorry I don't have any bike with the front wheel off to get a measurement. Your best bet for the correct numbers is to do it with your own bike so everything will be accurate.

My $1 caliper reads approximately 141.5mm between the forks. Add one fork diameter and you have the centre-to-centre measurement.

Like xchris says though, double check against your own machine when you can.

 

[Norman1950]

Awesome thank you very much. Will check when I can.

When I took the same measurements on my two bikes I got 142.3 and 142mm. So not every bike is the same I guess.

 

[Norman1950]

Thank you both for your time and measurements!

SO Norman are you looking to do a front fork swap with a gsxr? I would be interested to chat with you about this.

 

[Norman1950]

Goldwing yes I sure am going to attempt this. .. picking up the gsxr triples tomorrow. ..

Hi Norman, just wondering if you have had any time to work on that gsxr front end swap?

 

[Norman1950]

Goldwing, here is a link to my build thread. Think I have it mostly figured out.

hi, I have a 79 xs 400 given to me but there are no forks with it, can you tell me if there are any forks out there I could substitute the originals with, I would like to rebuild the bike but I got to get it completed before I can start working on it.

The inner fork tubes are 33mm and the front axle is 15mm. Here's a list of Japanese bike part dimensions so you can find possible swap options.

hi levdir, I assume all the ones under the 15mm will fit?

They'll be the right diameter but length will be something you'd have to check case-by-case. If you find a donor bike that you think will work the forums for that model will often have the kind of specs you need. I've been hunting down parks for a fork swap and the R6 forums have been helpful on that mark.
